I was amazed at the VitalSource way of presenting the books....
Everything looks perfectly typeset, but yet you can "flip"
through the book in the same way you would "flip" through a very
long web page in your web browser. And best of all, whenever I
have my tablet with me, my books are just a swipe away.

Comment from the Stata technical group

Data Analysis Using Stata, Third Edition has been completely
revamped to reflect the capabilities of Stata 12. This book will appeal to
those just learning statistics and Stata, as well as to the many users
who are switching to Stata from other packages.
Throughout the book, Kohler and Kreuter show
examples using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel, a large survey of
households containing demographic, income, employment, and other key
information.

Kohler and Kreuter take a hands-on approach, first showing how to
use Stata’s graphical interface and then describing
Stata’s syntax. The core of the
book covers all aspects of social science research, including data
manipulation, production of tables and graphs, linear regression analysis,
and logistic modeling. The authors describe Stata’s
handling of categorical covariates and show how the new margins
and marginsplot commands greatly simplify the interpretation of
regression and logistic results. An entirely new chapter discusses aspects
of statistical inference, including random samples, complex survey samples,
nonresponse, and causal inference.

The rest of the book includes chapters on reading text files into Stata, writing
programs and do-files, and using Internet resources such as the search
command and the SSC archive.

Data Analysis Using Stata, Third Edition has been structured so that
it can be used as a self-study course or as a textbook in an introductory
data analysis or statistics course. It will appeal to students and academic
researchers in all the social sciences.
